Or we could just wait for one lawyer to come onto a thread and spout his self-righteous yet-always-right-without-question pap. Beats the hell out of getting a variety of opinions.

Or we could just wait for another lawyer to lay out obviously incorrect law in the most self-righteous manner any strip mall lawyer ever could.

but wait
we have that. He just posted. Let's see if we can find that thread where he who is smarter than all educated the board on how reliable polygraph exams are regarded--Leon, I believe it will be found in a Clemens thread-- only to then immediately backpedal. Then I would love that he, after consulting with others (since he knows little to nothing of what he speaks) will point out the "obviously incorrect law" to which he refers, after which he will again to be shown to be as much full of crap as he is with himself.

Todd, yawn.
I only need to be smarter than you. Which I am. Now can we get back to watching Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett in Triple AAA at the All-Star break?

Oh and by the way, I recently used a polygraph exam to convince federal prosecutors to back off a certain life sentence for a client and negotiate a plea agreement which resulted in a 7 year sentence. Oh and the FBI has a polygraph department -- I know this because the former head of it was in my office last week.
But I'm sure you know all this through your experiences in your real estate practice.

Well
geez, I thought we all should benefit from your genius Jeff. And BTW, trying not to get into a whose is bigger thing here--unlike you, I do not suffer from delusions of grandeur--but you are not smarter, not only than myself, but also of many, many others who post or lurk here but who get tired of your massively large ego.
Yep. Let's talk about the standings and trades some more. May is just the best time for that. And I'll be just amazed when Bartlett wins his batting title, rather than the been there done that (twice) Mauer, and stunned how the Rays keep rolling along at that .500 pace, a half-game better than the Twins. BTW, please show me, I'm too stupid to point out where I said Bartlett and Garza would be in the minors--oh, wait, I didn't, just more of your "observations"--you rascal.

Todd, don't blame me for your feelings of inferiority. Considering it appears to happen so often to you I assumed you'd be ok with it by now.
As for Bartlett (and Garza), no one ever compared him to Mauer. Tbob complained bitterly about the trades made by the Twins in which they got rid of great young talent and received nothing in return. Bartlett and Garza were basically traded by the Twins for Delmon Young. On planet earth that is considered a bad trade. Had the trade been made for Mauer your point might make sense. But of course you don't.

I think it has nice material. It's obvious the auction is intended for a wider sports collecting audience, not just Pre-War baseball card specialists.
My guess is the Anson portrait photograph belonged to Anson. There are a small number of oversized, high quality studio portraits around, including from the same studio, that were Anson's and later obtained from his family. A friend owned some of them and had a family provenance letter stating they were Cap's. Due to the studio quality, display size and formal sitting, they are physically and stylistically consistent with photos to be made for the subject, family and home. If a neighbor picked up one of the photos at a garage sale except the guy in the picture was an anonymous nobody, I would say "It looks likes a family photo. It was probably made to be displayed at his home, office, relatives home or somewhere on that order." Last edited by drc; 05-25-2009 at 01:58 PM.
